THE LATE W . BRO . HENRY PULMAN . AV . Br : > . Henry Pnlman , who died at Teheran ( Persia ) , on Feb . 3 rd , aged thirty-five years , was one of the earliest members of the Oriental Lodge of Constantinople , the first lodge established in the empire of Turkey Ho was initiated into Masonry in that lodge in 1857 , and
afterwards proved himself one of the most active and zealous of its members . His natural talent ancl quick discernment in no small measure contributed to render him a most efficient officer . He held successively in his mother lodge the offices of I . G ., S-D ., J . AV ., AV . M ., Secretary , and Treasurer , and on leaving the chair was presented with a Past Master ' s jewel- He was one of
the founders of the Bnlwer Lodge ( No . 891 ) , Constantinople , P . Prov . J . G-AV . Turkey , founder and first M . E . Z . of the Oriental R . A . Chapter , 687 , Constantinople ; founder and first M . W . S . of the Leeson Chapter , Rose Croix * , Constantinople ; Mark M . M . Malta ; a Knight Teniplar ( Meletia Encampment , Malta ) , and member 30 ° . On his departure from Constantinople in 1861 , tho
members of the Oriental Lodso , at a farewell banquet given in his honour , and to testify their affectionate regard , as also to mark their appreciation of the many services rendered by him to the canseof Masonry in Turkey , presented
him with a handsome piece of plate . Bro . Pnlman was a most indefatigable member of the Order- His exertions to further the interest of Masonry and secure its welfare were unceasing ; distance , expense , the sacrifice of personal comfort , were no obstacles to him ; his charity was most liberal and his integrity most strict . So anxious was he upon these points , that on leaving for
a distant land , whence he was destined never to return he anticipated his subscriptions to the Oriental Lodge and the two Chapters to which he belonged by paying them to December , 1870 . By his death " tho Order has lost a zealous supporter , the brethren a kind brother and steadfast friend—a loss felt and regretted by a large circle of friends and brethren . He was an affectionate
husband , and a kind father . The deceased has left a widow and four young children to mourn a loss to them irreparable . The writer of this , as the first AV . M . of the Oriental Lodge , had the honour of initiating Bro . Pnlman into Masonry , and of afterwards co-operating with him in many of his efforts for tho good cause , and is therefore anxious that this tribute should be paid to the memory of such a worthy brother , faithful companion , and ' true friend .
